using his time very wisely edit: on the bright side, he is getting some exercise, fresh air and vitamin d=)If the television craze continues with the present level of programs, we are destined to have a nation of morons. - Daniel Marsh, 1950

As a 'Pittsburgher', I always choose to do other things when we are in the Superbowl. One year we went skiing and we were the only ones on the slopes. It is a great time to get out there and enjoy western PA as no one is anywhere away from the TV.

Hahha I like your quote at the bottom. It's pretty true! I don't enjoy superbowl either, but since we moved away from family and this is our first superbowl away from family, I am supporting my husband and watching with him. I LOVE anne of green gables!

Today we played on the ice covered lake with the grandson, walked the dog, cooked up a big veggy meal for the chickens and I am about to continue reading "The Gardener's Guide To Better Soil" by Gene Logsdon...so far an excellent book. I bought "Wild Fermentation" last year and it has become an excellent reference for me as we are big on foods like kim chi and sauerkraut around here in the winter.

Yeah, we think it is stupid--I think the commercials are even more stupid. Our country is programmed and brainwashed by the boob tube. I wish I could smash ours but I'd get in trouble from the hubby.I did make a yummy guacamole though!!Peace & Raw Health,E

Oh gosh, I was going to be able to boycott the Superbowl without even trying, seeing as I live in Australia and almost no one cares about it... but then I drove to my parents' place to say hi to my mum and my dad was home from work watching it! :P

you obviously live in a city who has no football championship history. still, i understand your point though i bet most of the commenters here who said negative things about the super bowl still watch other things on tv that are much more considered "brain programming" than football. sports/game/competition has been around since the dawn of time, whereas sitcoms, dramas, movies and soap operas can be credited to modern man's search for idiocy.

Well, I didn't read your post until this morning, but I was totally with you on not watching the Superbowl. We don't have TV, so it wasn't really an option anyway, but the husband and I don't like watching sports so it didn't really matter. Rick (above) actually has a good point though - not talking about your commenters specifically, but in general there is a lot trashier/dumber stuff on TV than football. I hadn't really thought of it that way as I've been complaining about the SB!

not into football much. i do like other sports sometimes but i find it too competitive for the most part. so i was a kindred spirit, making food, reading, napping, cuddling with critters, walking, and talking to my mom.

another point, i do think there is worse tv than football, however it seems the superbowl has turned into ads and getting drunk and eating junk food. if it was JUST about a game, it wouldn't be putting people into a STUPOR.
